A very interesting series of image Ian. I like them. I've never seen a porcupine in a tree before.

Ron - 'We don't have time to go take pics this afternoon Carl.'Carl - 'What do you mean? It will only take 1/1000s.''Keep your eyes looking forward. However, glance back now and then to see where you've come from. It will put a smile on your face.' ~ brandrx

A nice selection of varied images. Sets a high standard. I like them all but the deer in the long grass was particularly eye-catching for me - a lovely image. Oh - and the frog. And the spider. The fly was pretty good too. Ok, they're all good.

I too found the images interesting. As to porcupines Ron they spend a good deal of time in trees in the winter -- eating the tender bark. We had then for years in our back yard (woods) but I am afraid that the fisher cats have gotten to them -- my wife saw the last porcupine about a year ago. The porcupine was coming down one tree and the fisher cat was coming down another. Life can be hard out in the wild.

When you find them on land they usually become defensive and it’s hard to capture a natural pose.

Most of the time you find them in a tree they could care less if you approach them

Thank you

The Camera is only a tool, photography is deciding how to use it.The hardest part about capturing wildlife is not the photographing portion; it’s getting them to sign a model release

The fly in color was not very nice but in b/w I loved it

Funny thing with the toad I was on holidays in BC with a couple lenses and no flash, here I am out in the woods photographing reptiles at midnight with nothing other than the onboard flash. I counted about 20 toads that night, the other sex of this green toad have more colors to them.
